Call to Action

1

Culture – Not “Arts and Culture”

If you only have arts, you don’t have culture; you need (at least) the arts and heritage before you have culture.

2

Place-based Solutions

Our constitution is upside down; people don’t ‘live in Canada’ they live in cities and regions.  We need strategies to foster place-based wealth creation that build the tax base, not the tax burden. Sustaining and growing our cultural and media infrastructure sector must be built into cities and city-building.

3

Diversity and Representation Matter

Canada’s ethno-cultural and racial diversity – particularly our Black, Indigenous, and racialized communities - must be better represented in our cultural and media infrastructure. We are far from this goal.
